Adobe Audition 1.5 (Editing & Mastering Vocals)

Hello everyone, my name is Andrew and I am brand new to the forum.
I use adobe audition 1.5 to record songs (hip-hop) and whatnot, but when I edit the vocals, it does not sound any better than recording it. I already know that it depends on the sound card you have and the mic you use. I use a MXL USB.006 microphone. Regardless of the equipment, I was wondering what effects are recommended when editing vocals and all that. If anyone can give me full details on what i should use and all that good editing stuff, it would be appreciated. Thank you..

Can't, really. This is because we have no idea of what your tracks sound like, for a start. And absolutely all vocals sound different, and therefore need treating differently. There is no 'standard' processing for any vocal at all - simply because to get a good vocal result involves making it sit correctly in your track, and we haven't heard it. Most peoples' idea of vocal processing involves compression - but there are several different ways of going about this, and once again, it's all track-dependant.
On top of all that, this isn't really the forum for this sort of question, because it deals primarily with Audition operational problems. You might be rather better served by posting an example in AudioMasters, where you will probably get rather better feedback.

How do you setup adobe audition 3.0 to record vocal?

hi,
I just bought some equipment for recording vocal but have no idea how to setup adobe audition 3.0 to actually pickup sound from my mic.
So i have my microphone connecting to the interface which connects to my computer.
Microphone: Audio Technica AT2020 XLR cord
Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB connection
The M-Audio fast track pro CD was useless, it said it wouldnt install on my Vista 32bit so I just downloaded the vista 32bit driver which worked perfect. I also downloaded the ASIO4ALL v2 driver since my computer only has an intergrated soundcard. (Realtek High Definition Audio, Screaming Bee Audio) I dont know why there is 2. But i have no idea how to get audition working and pick up sound. I went into audio hardware setup and clicked the ASIO4ALL v2 driver in Edit view tab, multitrack view and surround encoder but still no sound picked up. Ill post up some pictures of how it looks. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I also tried choosing the M-Audio USB ASIO option but it wont let me
sorry for being so stupid, I'm a beginner to all this and is still learning so please don't be too harsh on me.

I use a different model of M-Audio interface so I don't know if this applies to the Fast Track Pro, but...
I've noticed that mine can be fussy about the order of power up and if I boot the computer then connect the interface, Windows doesn't always detect it's presence. I now have a switch on procedure that I follow without thinking: I turn on the audio interface, make sure it's connected to the PC and only then boot the PC. This seems to make sure the M-Audio device is always detected.
Although I have Asio4All installed, I just use the M-Audio drivers. Make sure the drivers you want are selected in the Audio Hardware setup window, then go through and then select your inputs in Edit and Multitrack windows.

Hilfe, wer kennt sich mit ADOBE AUDITION aus?

Hallo,
suche händeringend Kontakt zu Leuten, die ebenfalls mit Adobe Audition (ehemals Cool Edit Pro) arbeiten. Stoße immer wieder auf verschiedene Probleme und wäre für einen Austausch sehr dankbar.
Bin auch gerne bereit, mein eigenes Wissen weiterzugeben, sofern es weiterhelfen kann.

Edit in Adobe Audition Greyed Out in After Effects CC

The "Edit in Adobe Audition" is greyed out in After Effects CC. I imported an mp3 file into my composition, click on it and the link remains greyed out. The link works fine from Premiere Pro CC to Audtion.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to set?

Figured it out. For whatever reason the .sesx file extension wasn't associated with Adobe Audition on my Windows 7 machine. I changed this by double clicking on an .sesx file and adding the association.

CS6 - Edit Clip in Adobe Audition Grayed Out

I used to own the CS5.5 Master Collection Suite, and recently upgraded to CS6. Tonight, for the first time, I am using the new Premiere Pro CS6. Besides a few quirks and buginess, one frustrating issue is that the "Edit in Adobe Audition" option is grayed out when I right-click on any audio file placed in my timeline.
In fact, this option is grayed out even in the Edit menu on the top toolbar, and also for audio files over in my Bins list.
I have verified that Audition CS6 is installed and working.
Could really use some help so that I can edit these audio files in Audition directly from the timeline.

Bug confirmed. This was reported in an earlier thread. Advice given was to uninstall and try again. I notice too that in Preferences when looking at how your RAM is spread over the available Adobe programs, Audition doesn't appear.
I hoped the recent update would fix this bug - but, sadly it didn't.

Can't Edit Clips in Adobe Audition

So now I suddenly can't use one of my favorite features of Premiere - editing a clip in Adobe Audition.
I just upgraded to CS6 Master Collection. When I right-click on an audio clip in Premiere, "Edit with Adobe Audition" is grayed out. When I click the audio clip and select Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition, it goes through all the preparation, but Audition doesn't launch.
Bug? Is there something I need to switch on somewhere? Dynammic Link Media is selected, so I'm at a loss right now.
Any suggestions?

look at the file extension of the audio file...
if you brought the clip into Premier, for example as an mp4, or maybe brought in a wav, or mp3 file, then you must change the default program that opens these extensions to Audition.
Just experience the same problem, removed Premier, reinstalled, same issue.
Opened previous project that had mp4 on timeline....
went to the file explorer and found and mp4 file, right click on file, open with, choose default program, change the default program to Audition....
I have changed the default program for all audio files now to be audition.
Keep in mind that if you have mp3 files that you like to listen to while you work, they will now no longer open in media player, or WinAmp by default.
You will now see that if you have unlinked the audio from the video clip, that when you right click on the audio file in the timeline, and choose edit original, it will now open in Audition....
...enjoy!!

In adobe audition cc how do i edit my audio stereo in waveform

in adobe audition cc how do i edit my audio stereo in waveform i dont know where i tried everywhere please help

To expand on what ryclark says, you have to set the sample rate on your sound card or audio interface. If you're just using the onboard sound chip, that'll be on the Sound menu on the control panel. For that, go to the Playback Device menu, select your device, then properties, then Advanced. There'll be a drop down menu listing the available sample rates you can choose. You then have to do the same on the Recording Devices tab, at this has to match what you set on playback. Finally, you have to make sure that Audition (Edt/Preferences/Audio Hardware) is set to the same as your sound card.
If you have a specialist sound card, the setting will probably be in software you installed when you hooked that up.
Note that you're unlikely to find ANY sound card or audio interface that can use 20,000Hz as a sample rate though.
My normal advice if you need a low sample rate for some reason is to do your work at one of the standards (say 44,100 or 48,000) then convert the finished product. I know that some things like answering machines want lower sample rates. However, even this method won't give you 20,000. The presets in Audition jump from 16,000 to 22,050 which are standards in the industry.
Perhaps if you can explain why you want to use 20,000 Hz sampling?

Pr Sequence sent to AME drops whole tracks or clips touched by Edit in Adobe Audition

On an increasingly frequent basis in CS5.5 I have observed sequences sent from Pr to AME failing to include certain replaced audio clips (from Edit Clip in Adobe Audition) or several whole tracks (2 & 3). In the most recent example the same sequence was sent to AME and duplicated three times producing four formats none of which contained tracks 2 & 3. Once discovered [days and restarts later] the offending prproj was reopened, the unchangeed sequence was sent back through AME, and now the output includes the missing track 2 & 3.
What can cause clips or whole tracks to be missing from the output in one export but included in another with no other changes? Shouldn't AME compalin if it was told to encode a resource that a Pr Sequence referred to that AME can't find?
The audio clips on track 2 & 3 in this recent even were likely pasted into the Pr Sequence after having been copied from a another file's sequence; Volume levels would have been previewed and adjusted exensively in the target sequence they were pasted into, and [usually] a save executed before the Export/Media was called.

Edit in Adobe Audition

Hi!
In Premiere Pro CC, when I select Edit in Adobe Audition>Sequence for a multitrack file all the stereo tracks become mono tracks in Audition's Multitrack Tab. They end up labelled: Audio 1_1 Audio 1_2 Audio 2_1 Audio 2_2.
What's the reason for this?
How do I get the transfer of the stereo audio files to keep intact the fact that it's a stereo file?
Kind Regards

The audio file is directly in the project window. If I select the audio file, which is a wave, I go to Edit->Edit Original and Adobe Audition CC opens just fine; my audio files are associated with Adobe Audition CC. However, the menu item right below, Edit in Adobe Audition is greyed out.
In Windows directly, by double clicking on the file, Adobe Audition CC opens the file without issue.
I also tested the same scenario in Adobe Premiere CC and the exact same issue is occurring there. In Adobe Premiere CC, it was the only thing in the project. I tried different wave files and they all had the same issue. In After Effects CC it is the same thing.
Do I need to reinstall Adobe Audition CC so the dynamic link recognizes the application is installed?

CC 2014 Using "Edit in Adobe Audition" question?

In Premiere Pro CC (2014). When I send an audio clip that is an .aif from the timeline to Audition using “Edit in Adobe Audition > Clip”, when it shows up in Audition, the file is a .wav file. Is there a preference that will keep it a .aif file?

Dont know... but possibly an Audition Preference or a workflow actually in Audition for Mixer or Sound File Editor setup

Premiere Pro to Adobe Audition Dynamic link does not work. Cannot edit audio in Audition.

Trying to edit Audio from Premiere Pro within Audition thru the Dynamic link but it does not fire up Audition to edit. Seems like a common problem/bug. But no one has posted a solution. Please Help
-Windows 7
-Premiere Pro CC 2014
-Adobe Audition CC 2014

You dont understand it was all working fine in the previous Adobe versions. matter of fact you can go on youtube and see a couple of videos that shows the work flow between Premiere Pro and audition by way of Dynamic link. If you edit a video clip in Premier Pro and want to add some music or simply edit the audio that is contained in the video there was a time within Premiere Pro you can just right click "Edit in Adobe Audition" and Audition would open with the audio clip in place. Much in the same way Premiere Pro works with After Effects thru the Dynamic Link. The Dynamic Link is the bridge between applications to work with each other. For some reason Premiere Pro and Audition Dynamic Link is not working properly.

Edit in Adobe Audition Freezes Audition

There is yet another CS6 bug.
Linking Premiere Pro to Audition within CS6 Production Premium Suite 6.0.1.
I had NO problems doing this in CS5.5.2. The audio works great in PP CS6.
Scenario
Windows 7, 8 GB Ram, latest Realtek audio drivers, Matrox MXO2 LE Max latest driver for CS6
Select Edit / Edit in Adobe Audition
Audition opens
File seen with waveforms in Audition
Unfortunately, Audition is frozen I can move the timeline indicator but the file will NOT play.
Video shot on Sony PMW EX1 EXCAM 1080P 29.97
Al Mooney may have fixed some issues that were in CS5.5 but this baby needs new set of diapers.

This is no bug with Adobe, it must be Matrox. Without Matrox it works without problems.

Why doesn't Audition open when I click 'Edit Clip in Adobe Audition' in Premiere Pro CC2014?

I have been reading up on this issue and it seems like I am not the only one that this has happened to since Adobe released CC2014. The button is NOT greyed-out, just doesn't function the way it did in the original CC version; it creates an extracted file but does not send it to open with Audition and I have to manually locate the file and open it in order to edit the file.
I have already made sure that the .sesx file is set to use Adobe Audition by default but did not resolve it. Please let me know if you have a fix for this. Thanks!

Hi OB,
Menu > Pages > Preferences > General
Times New Roman is one of my Custom Templates in Template Chooser.
Those settings give me that template when I launch Pages 5, also with Menu > File > New (command n).
Anything different about your set up?
Regards,
Ian.
Edit: BTW, with those preferences, New From Template Chooser no longer shows under the File Menu. Hold down the option key to see it. Ian.
